Not really.

I don't know why these ex Ansett-come-Jetconnect guys think they have a monopoly on hiring in NZ, other then with Air NZ of course. There were a number of Jetconnect guy's picked up during the last interview round with Contract Air, I don't know of any one of them yet to start a course, but as of late it has been Air Chathams and Air Nelson drivers who have come out of the sim and are now on line (as of the last couple weeks specifically). One of them used to be my co-pilot.
